SAMPLE “NOTARIAL CERTIFICATES”

What are Notarial Certificates?

The notarial certificate is a written statement, signed and sealed by the notary public, certifying the facts of a notarial act. The two most common notarial acts a notary will be asked to perform are administering oaths and taking acknowledgements. Oaths and acknowledgements are two different notarial acts, therefore each will require its own certificate wording. Most documents will have a version of the samples below at the end of the document. If your document does not have a Notarial Certificate, please check with the originator of the document as to WHICH Notarial Certificate should be used. Dunedin Mobile Notary will provide the certificate upon request, but CANNOT choose the correct certificate for that specific document.

Usually a quick call to the originator of the document will identify which is required.
